OK, so the FIA have accepted that moveable aero is here to stay -Yay! Currently it has been said that the drivers workload is too high and as a result overtaking hasn't really been improved by the moveable front wings....
Its been established on this forum that suspension loads can be used to quite accurately determine aero loads.
So here's the idea:- The rear wing is fixed (adjustable only in the pits). The front wing is automatically adjusted to maintain a pre-determined aero balance based on the various sensors around the car... The aero balance set-point could be adjusted by the driver with a knob on the steering wheel.
To really get the idea working I guess the rules would have to be written to really simplify the wing shapes -to further reduce the effect of turbulance on the following car....
This way a "following" driver just drives as normal and the car automatically adjusts the front wing to maintain front end grip... hopefully this would make it easier for the following car to follow.. and hence can run closer.... As the rear wing is in a set position there isn't any fear of cornering speeds AND straightline speeds increasing when the car is on its own....
